WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_gap does on Nodebench

AI agents use resolve_gap to create or update resources in Nodebench, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nodebench environment.

RISK

Why resolve_gap is rated Medium

This tool modifies the status of a gap (likely changing it from 'unresolved' to 'resolved'). This is a Write operation because it updates data without irreversible deletion or destructive consequences. The operation is reversible (a resolved gap could be reopened if needed). It returns read-only counts, with no ability to execute external code or handle financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Mark a gap as resolved...Returns remaining gap counts by severity. The verb 'Mark' indicates a state change to an existing gap record, which is a reversible modification of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs resolve_gap safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For resolve_gap, this is the rule to start with:

resolve_gap Rate-limited

resolve_gap stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nodebench, apply this rule, and every resolve_gap call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about resolve_gap

What does the resolve_gap tool do? +

Mark a gap as resolved after implementing the fix. Returns remaining gap counts by severity. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Nodebench MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on resolve_gap? +

Register the Nodebench MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resolve_gap: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Nodebench. Nothing to install.

What risk level is resolve_gap? +

resolve_gap is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit resolve_gap? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resolve_gap rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block resolve_gap completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for resolve_gap. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides resolve_gap? +

resolve_gap is provided by the Nodebench MCP server (nodebench-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
